realising that routine eye exams and new glasses are completely out-of-pocket on original medicare is a massive shock to the budget. looking for medicare supplemental vision plans that actually cover more than just the "medical" part of the eye check. tried looking into advantage plans but don't want to switch my primary doctors just to get a pair of bifocals.

wondering if there are standalone options that fill this gap without being a total rip-off? what kept the costs down when you need more than just a basic health check for your eyes?

I’m starting to look for a mother's day gift for my mom, whos been complaining about major eye strain and puffiness lately. She spends a lot of time on her ipad and says her eyes just feel "heavy" by the end of the day.

I’ve seen some of those things that use heat and vibration, but I’m worried they might be too intense for sensitive skin or does nothing at all. Something that feels like a spa treatment but can be used while she’s just lying in bed.

Any tips and recos are welcome, thank you so much!
